\ striking anecdote of NJ. Paul Bert S
intrepedity as a savant is related by one
who, owing 10 his connection with the
hospital at the time, is in q position to
vouch for its authenticity in every par
ticular. Some years ago he visited Havre
while severe epidemic of smallpox was
raging in that port. Noticing on his
return to Paris that the mortality was
daily on the increase he began to enter
tain doubts as to the efficacy of vaccina-
ton as prophylactic, and resolved to
solve the problem to his own satisfaction
by experiments on his own person. He
accordingly got himself vaccinated, and,
going fortnight afterward to the Charlie
hospital, he courageously had himself
iuoculated with the virus of man who
was dying of the smallpox. No ill effects
having resulted from this terrible expert
ment NJ. Paul Bert was completely won
over to the cause of vaccination, which
throughout the remainder of his life had
no warmer supporter. 1t is characteristic
of the savant that he never breathed a
word about this to any one, evidently re-
garding the trial to which he had sub
jected himself and the fearful risk which
he had run as commonplace episode in
the career of a yotary of science. Paris

establishment of the Signal Service by
climbing up to maximum of 10218
degrees, and the only day in any
month since the Weather Bureaus

perature than to-day was recorded was
the 9TH Of September, 1881, when the
mercury reached 104 degrees. There
were fifteen or more cases of prostra-
ton and five of these are known to
have resulted fatally. A shower Of
rain in the afternoon cooled the at
mosphere considerably. One notice
able feature of the heat for the past

The beginning Ofthe End.

The beginning of disease is slight debility
or disorder of some OF the vital organs, the
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually.
There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawney and UNI
healthy looking there are pains in the right
side or through the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an utter prostration of the
physical energies, perhaps fatal issue. But
If the difficulty is met in time with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is always effective as a
remedy, and it should be resorted to at an early
stage, there will be no reason to apprehend
those injurious subsequent effects upon the
system often entailed by entirely cured dis
eases. Far better is it, also, to employ this safe
remedial agent in fever and ague, and other
nalarial complaints, than quinine and other
ptaent drugs, which, even when they do prove
effectual for time ruin the stomach and i'm
pair the general health
